For most of the fair sex, evening facials have become a familiar ritual. Indeed, products such as cleansing milk, tonic and moisturizer are the key to good and young skin. Just fine, if you have enough content of the cherished bottles to maintain a he althy complexion.
But sooner or later (most often, by the age of 30) there is a need for more serious care products. Serum for the face will help keep the skin in good shape. Feedback from people who have tried this tool is the most positive.
Composition of the miracle remedy
What are the components and substances included in this wonderful tool?
- hyaluronic acid;
- lactic acids;
- fruit acids;
- herbal extracts (from exotic to those growing in our middle lane);
- vitamin A, C cocktailand E;
- peptides;
- ceramides.
The active components of the serum (acids) have a biological effect on the deep layer of the skin. This, of course, contributes to the restoration of its water balance.
What is the benefit of face serum?
Compared to other moisturizers (like cream), serum is better absorbed. Sometimes one application is enough to improve the complexion and tone the skin. This is due to the fact that the serum has a high content of active ingredients (hyaluronic acid and vitamins), while the rest of the substances help these two to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Any moisturizer will "lose" the serum in terms of the content of active ingredients.
However, this remedy is not a panacea for all skin problems. And also does not exclude the use of everyday care products.
The second important advantage of whey is the minimum content of preservatives in the composition. The opened ampoule is used in 2-3 days.

How to choose the right face serum?
Cosmetic product loved by most women - face serum. Reviews of various products are very contradictory and different. But still, let's try to figure out which cosmetics to give preference to.
Before you buy any cosmetic product, you need to clearly understand what result you want to achieve.
Let's say your problem is dark circles under the eyes against the background of a bright face. In this case, it is advisable to buy a specific serum for the skin around the eyes. By the way, whitening face serums are especially popular among women: reviews say that the problem will be solved in just two or three applications.
An important aspect when choosing a cosmetic product is how old you are. The instructions for the serum always say what age it is intended for.
Seasonality is another factor that you should pay attention to when buying a product. In the winter-autumn period, give preference to oil-based serums. Also, in the cold season, try to minimize the use of antiseptic cosmetics: you risk overdrying the skin. In summer and autumn, feel free to purchase a water-based serum.
To all representativesFor the fair sex, we advise you to consult a beautician before choosing this cosmetic product.
In general, if you have good skin and you are not yet 30, there is no point in anti-aging serums. Therefore, try to lead the right lifestyle - this will significantly extend the time until your first visit to the beautician.
Which cosmetics manufacturer can you trust?
You can't tell which cosmetic companies offer the best face serums. Reviews indicate that Vichy, Clarins, Almea and Avon are effective. Let's get acquainted with their products:
- Vichy. Cosmetics of this brand are sold only in pharmacies and practically do not cause allergies. The right choice for women over 30 is a face lifting serum. Reviews of people speak of a pleasant gel-like structure of the product and a natural smell. Gets your face in order quickly.
- Clarins. In addition to everyone's favorite deodorants in blue bottles, this French company produces pretty good face serums. This cosmetic product promotes the production of collagen and has a fairly affordable price - only 2000 rubles.
- Almea. Moisturizing serum for oily skin. Especially effective in cold and wet seasons. It should be applied at night, after cleansing the skin with a tonic. The only drawback is the dispenser, which sharply spit out the product. However, this is not a hindrance, because the most important thing is what effect the cosmetic product has, andyou will learn to squeeze it out smoothly sooner or later;
- Avon. An excellent anti-aging remedy is the Avon face serum. Reviews of the concentrate speak of the elimination of wrinkles, improvement of complexion and the disappearance of pigmentation.
Trust but verify
Not all cosmetic products have the effect described in the advertisement. The manufacturer likes to exaggerate the positive properties of his product. Therefore, try to purchase proven products (for example, those already tested by your friends).
It's worth saying a few words about Faberlic's products. Serum for the face (reviews of many people say this), produced by this company, does not differ in quality and effectiveness. Although some were still very satisfied with this remedy.
In general, before buying any thing, it makes sense to study the reviews. You will not only learn a lot of new things, but also laugh heartily: what kind of adventures happen to people who decide to try another miracle cure on themselves.
Concentrate usage rules
There are two types of serums:
- Day use.
- For evening use.
The first ones soothe and moisturize tired facial skin. The latter, as a rule, have an oil base and are absorbed for a long time, so they are applied at night.
There are also those products that are suitable for both daytime and evening use - these are universal face serums. Reviews about them are mostly positive.
Serum should only be applied to cleansed skin. That is, first you wash your face with the help of everyday care products, and only then smear your face with a concentrate. Serum should be applied in the same way as a moisturizer - with light massaging movements of the fingertips.
Optimal serum dose
It is worth remembering: only what is in moderation is useful. This golden rule also applies to the use of facial serum. Reviews of people with allergic reactions can be seen on any cosmetic site. Very often, the body does not recognize any active ingredient of the serum due to the exaggeration of its dose by many times.
Focus on the dispenser attached to the bottle. For the first time, 2-3 drops of the concentrate will be enough.
For more information on how to use and apply the serum, see the instructions.
Today there are various restorative concentrates on the market. It is difficult to say which manufacturer offers the best face serums. Reviews of people about a particular tool will say a lot, so be sure to read them. But remember: the selection of any cosmetic product is done by trial and error - only after trying several options, you will finally find "the same elixir" that will delight you with an excellent effect day after day.
